Here's the BMW version:

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I saw a docco a number of years ago where some English fellas built a three wheeled vehicle like this that used a computer to help it lean through corners. Unfortunately, I don't think I could find the info on it but I'll have a look.
I also saw that Myth Busters tested motorbikes to see if they produced less pollution than cars and they found that they were worse than cars. They also constructed a fiberglass shell to test it's advantages on fuel consumption and it made a good improvement.
